Abstract:
The proposed invention relates to a gas/liquid contacting vessel (100) for treatment of a gas stream at varying mass flow rates, said vessel comprising at least two distinct gas/liquid contacting compartments (101a, 101b) separated from each other by a substantially vertical partition (102), each compartment having a gas inlet (104a, 104b) and a liquid outlet (110a, 110b) near a bottom end thereof and a gas outlet (106a, 106b) and a liquid inlet (108a, 108b) near a top end thereof, and a mass transfer device (111a, 111b) arranged between said bottom end and top end, wherein one of said compartments is operable for gas/liquid contacting independently of another of said compartments. The proposed invention further relates to a flue gas treatment system for removal of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from a flue gas using a liquid absorbent and to a power plant comprising such a gas/liquid contacting vessel or flue gas treatment system.
Abstract:
A scrubber for removing contaminants from a gas stream, comprising a tank, a submerged head extending horizontally, wherein the submerged head comprises a plate having slots extending throughout, four solid joined vertical walls inset from the walls of the tank below the plate to form an open ended box under the plate, and openings along each edge of the plate between the walls of the tank and the vertical walls of the submerged head; a first baffle above the submerged head and means for spraying scrubbing fluid. The scrubber may comprise a flooded head extending horizontally above the first baffle and head having narrow slots extending throughout; and a second baffle extending horizontally between the four walls of the tank.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to reactor vessels such as absorbing or stripping columns that are suitable for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gas streams of fossil fuel fired powered stations such as coal fired power stations generating 100 to 500 MW. The side walls of the reactors are made of concrete or structural ceramics that are preferrably steel reinforced. The reactors are on a sufficiently large scale such that a flue gas stream in the order of at least 1,000 t/hr and normally greater than 2,000 or 3,000 t/hr can be scrubbed of carbon dioxide in a single absorption column and then recovered in a stripping column. The absorbing and stripping columns may be free standing structures or, alternatively, the absorbing column may be located at least partially within the stripping column.
Abstract:
A method and system for transporting and processing sour gas are provided. The method includes collecting a sour gas at a collection location, which has an associated sweetening device, and delivering a solvent to the sweetening device from a regeneration device remote therefrom. The sour gas is treated at the collection location with the solvent in the associated sweetening device to form a sweetened gas and a sour gas-rich solvent. The sweetened gas is transported from the sweetening device to a gas processing plant remote therefrom, and the sour gas-rich solvent from the sweetening device is delivered to the regeneration device for regeneration therein.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Verdichter (10) und ein Verfahren, bei dem der Verdichter (10) zum insbesondere isothermen Verdichten technischer Gase einen Verdichtungszylinder (12), in den ein Verunreinigungen aufweisendes technisches Gas einleitbar ist, und eine mit einer Kompressorpumpe (26) in den Verdichtungszylinder (12) einleitbare Verdrängerflüssigkeit (16) aufweist, wobei die Verdrängerflüssigkeit (16) für mindestens eine Verunreinigung des technischen Gases ein höhere Löslichkeit als für eine Hauptkomponente des technischen Gases aufweist. Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Entspannungsraum (32) zur Desorption der Verunreinigung aus zumindest einen Teil der Verdrängerflüssigkeit (16) vorgesehen, wobei eine Purge-Pumpe (36) zur Abfuhr von in die Gasphase (34) übergegangener Verunreinigungen mit dem Entspannungsraum (32) verbunden ist. Durch den für den Verdichter (10) zusätzlichen zu dem Verdichtungszylinder (12) vorgesehenen und von dem Verdichtungszylinder (12) getrennten Entspannungsraum (32) können die von der Verdrängerflüssigkeit (16) absorbierten Verunreinigungen in einer kontrollierten Atmosphäre wieder abgetrennt werden, so dass eine Alterung der Verdrängerflüssigkeit (16) durch eine fortschreitende Kontamination mit absorbierten Verunreinigungen vermieden oder zumindest deutlich reduziert werden kann. Der Verdichter (10) und das Verfahren sind dadurch unempfindlicher gegen Verunreinigungen der zu verdichtenden technischen Gase.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Ölwaschkolonne 1 mit einem Benzinabschnitt 1a und einem Ölabschnitt 1 b in einer Anlage zur Naphtaspaltung. Zur Verhinderung von Polymerbildung wird aus dem Ablaufschacht 9a des untersten Ventilbodens 7a eine Füssigphase 10 in einen Vorratsbehälter 11 abgezogen. Ein Teil 15 dieser Flüssigphase wird nach Abkühlung 13 der Kolonne zwei Böden 7b oberhalb des Ventilbodens 7a wieder aufgegeben. Ein Trockenlaufen und somit Polymerbildung im Benzinabschnitt wird dadurch verhindert.
Abstract:
A process vessel for a gas scrubbing process selected from at least one of an absorber, a regenerator, a scrubber, a reboiler, a heat exchanger or a combination thereof. The process vessel has a top wall, a base wall, and at least three sidewalls formed from a cementitous material. The process vessel also has inlet and outlet ports for fluid entering and leaving the process vessel when in use, formed within at least one of the top wall, base wall, or sidewall of the vessel. The sidewalls of the vessel define a polygon shaped cross-section.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for the treatment and continuous compression of at least one gaseous fluid by contact with at least one liquid fluid including a water ejector supplied simultaneously with at least one gaseous fluid and at least one pressurised liquid fluid, the outlet of which is connected to a so-called separation capacitor, a capacitor for separating the two fluids with an outlet at the top for evacuating the gaseous fluid, a heat exchanger arranged at the bottom on the inside of the separation capacitor, a pump supplied by the liquid fluid coming from the exchanger, said pump being connected to the supply circuit of the water ejector and supplying said circuit at least partially with liquid fluid, a bleeder for supplying a regenerator with a portion of the liquid fluid, arranged downstream from the pump, a column for finishing the treatment of the gas arranged on the outlet of the gaseous fluid and connected to the separation capacitor, and a line for evacuating the treated gaseous fluid arranged at the top of the column, a method for treatment and continuous compression of at least one gaseous fluid and a use of the method or the device.
